Controller Eases Temperature Testing

A new TS Controller has been developed for use with thermal chambers and plates from Sigma Systems. The TS Controller, with remote-interface capabilities and touchscreen display, can greatly simplify temperature-based testing from -185 to +500°C for different printed-circuit boards (PCBs) and devices under test (DUTs). It allows quick set-up of thermal points, temperature ramp speeds, hold times, and other parameters needed for thermal testing. It also provides status information for a DUT and the test chamber, including temperature data and data trends. A fail-safe option is available to provide protection for a DUT.
